The Inner West Community Bike Hub in Footscray welcomes old bikes of all sizes that are no longer of use. If the bike can be repaired, it will be recycled and donated to community members in need.
If not, the bike will be dismantled, spare parts salvaged and leftover parts appropriately recycled to avoid landfill.
